elfA

Gene
elfA
Protein
Laminin-binding fimbrial subunit ElfA
Organism
Escherichia coli O157:H7
Length
182 amino acids
Function
Part of the elfADCG fimbrial operon, which could be required for adherence to host epithelial cells. ElfA is an accessory colonization factor that contributes to adherence of bacteria to human intestinal epithelial cells and to animal intestinal tissue in vitro. Binds specifically to laminin, but not to fibronectin or collagen type IV.
Similarity
Belongs to the fimbrial protein family.
Mass

Protein
Fimbrial subunit ElfA
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Length
179 amino acids
Function
Part of the elfADCG-ycbUVF fimbrial operon, which promotes adhesion of bacteria to different abiotic surfaces. ElfA is the major fimbrial subunit produced by this operon.
Similarity
Belongs to the fimbrial protein family.
